Clement Lefebvre and the community behind the Linux Mint project announced yesterday, April 25th, on their official blog that Linux Mint 5 LTS (Elyssa) operating system will reach end-of-life on April 28th, 2011.

Today we are sorry to announce that starting with April 28th, 2011, the Linux Mint 5 LTS (Elyssa) operating system will no longer be supported with security or critical fixes, and software updates. This comes right after the EOL (end-of-life) announcement for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron), issued by Canonical two weeks ago, on April 11th.

Linux Mint 5 (Elyssa) was based on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) and it was the 5th release of the popular Linux Mint operating system. We strongly recommend upgrading your Linux Mint 5 LTS machine(s) to the current LTS (Long Term Support) version, the Linux Mint 9 (Isadora) operating system. Upgrade instructions can be found in this tutorial.
